General, 

In compliance with Par. "6" Cir No "10". Series 1866. from Hd Qrs Asst Comr. State of Va. I have the honor to report, that no cases in which Freedmen were principals, have been tried before the courts of this Division during the month of August.  Whenever they have been offered as witnesses in other cases their testimony has been received but seems to have but little weight with a jury.

Very respectfully
Your obt servt
